So do the authorities, in the form of Mr. Clyde (Peter Leeds, Marv's Shakespeare teacher from "High School Big Shot"). Pressured by Chip's vengeful plutocratic father, Clyde arranges for the bitter buxom bombshell to do an indefinite stretch in Girls Town, an unusually palatial Catholic estate for wayward young women.

Girls Town is ruled with a velvet fist by Mother Veronica (Maggie Hayes) and her pious papist posse. While confined there, the free-thinking scat-singing-and-slang-crazed Silver must survive amidst the tough fellow inmates and hardened-but-caring nuns. In addition, she must endure the romantic attentions of a 47-year-old bread group delivery man (Mamie's real-life husband), unaware that he is actually a PI hired by Chip's father to secure proof of her guilt in his son's death.

Girls Town

Meanwhile in the B plot, delusional Girls Town resident Sarafina (Gigi Perreau) is infatuated with pop-star Jimmy (Paul Anka) and so he becomes drawn into Girls Town affairs. Gang member Frank finally guesses that the true identity of the agent of Chip's demise is Mary Lee. He decides to kidnap her and spirit her away to Mexico so that his father won't take away his car.

Meanwhile the sisters and Jimmy are working on Silver's reformation. Silver and Jimmy play a game of "Whose life was more rotten?" and he cruelly reduces her to tears by singing.

Suddenly, Silver learns of Mary Lee's disappearance. Silver breaks out of Girls Town and rescues her little sister from Frank.

In the high point of the film, The Platters appear in a pleasant musical cameo, conducted by a pair of eerily disembodied hands.

Information

That's Dick Contino, star of Daddy-O, playing the member of the Dragons gang who gets killed in the hands-free drag race.

Gloria Talbott, the tough Romulan-esque Girls Town resident who knows jiujitsu because her dad is a bouncer, also appears in The Leech Woman as the gal whose lawyer fiance is smitten by the titular character.

The producer originally wanted Lucille Ball to play the Mother Superior.

Mel Torme, playing a "juvenile delinquent", was 34 years old at the time this movie was made. Likewise, Mamie Van Doren was 27.

The Episode

Host Segments

The SOL prepare for Dr. F's big announcement

Prologue: The Satellite of Love crew prepares for Dr. F’s big announcement. Mike is wearing his tuxedo jumper, and Crow has gotten The Power Steves, a less-than-enthusiastic polka band.
Segment One: Dr. Forrester unveils the Umbilicus with a pompous speech, as TV's Frank tries not to go to sleep. Gypsy is part of the link and she is troubled about it. But the Umbilicus at this stage has some "technical difficulties".

Segment Two:Tom "scats" like Mel Tormé until Mike and Crow have had enough. It doesn't take long, and so Mike and Crow begin a long system of containment to end the scatting, which ends before it can be enacted when commercial sign hits.

Segment Three: While Mike explains the honor system to Crow, Tom scarfs down all the honor system candy. He looks rather grotesque when he is finished.

Mike & the Bots design the women of the future

Segment Four: The crew discusses how fads alter the idea of the perfect woman’s figure. They decide to design their own perfect woman of the future. Wings, Mexican tiles, huge eyelids, and power take-off are part what go into their design.

Segment Five: Mike and the Bots joyfully send a cream pie down Gypsy's mouth so it can surprise Dr. F when the Umbilicus finally works the way its supposed to.

Stinger: "You tell that boy to go home right now, or I’ll call the police!"

Other Notes

Gypsy has a male connector (which causes difficulties, since the umbilicus also has a male connector). This may mean she is transgender, as in the K season, she was depicted as male, but then was female in the other seasons.

American Gladiators was a show with improbably named "gladiators" (Blaze, Laser, Turbo, etc.) competing against contestants in feats of physical prowess. One of these was the Joust, which involved trying to knock each other off a bridge with pugil sticks.00:32
